MANCHESTER United have reached agreement with Wolves for the signing of Brazil forward Matheus Cunha.
The 26-year-old is United’s first signing of the summer after the club activated a £62.5m release clause in Cunha’s Wolves contract.
“Manchester United has reached agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Matheus Cunha,” the club announced today.
“The Brazilian forward’s signing is subject to visa and registration.
“The 26 year-old has 13 senior caps for Brazil, and, in his club career, has made 270 appearances and scored 72 goals in the English, Spanish, German and Swiss top flights.”
The former Atletico Madrid forward will sign a five-year deal at Old Trafford, with the option of a further 12 months.
Cunha was in Manchester over the weekend to complete a medical with the club, and the deal is expected to be completed once Cunha returns from international duty with Brazil later this month.
Cunha left the Lowry Hotel in Salford on Sunday morning to join up with the national side.
Brazil face Ecuador on Thursday night in a World Cup qualifier, which will be Carlo Ancelotti’s first game in charge.
Ruben Amorim is keen to strengthen Manchester United’s attack this summer after the club’s worst-ever English Premier League campaign as they finished 15th in the table.
